Pinkies, Fuzzies, and Hoppers(MOUSE)
Born a blind, pink cocktail wiener,
Nothing sadder has ever been seener,
But when fuzzy I become, I scamper and hop,
Good luck trying to catch me, cause I’ll never stop!

Prometheus(BURMESE PYTHON)
Thirteen feet head to tail, when fully unwound,
Makes it difficult at times to even turn around,
Lock up your kitty and old Irish Setter,
‘Cause for me and my food, the larger the better.

Sal(SALAMANDER)
“Lives in fire” is the meaning of my ancient name,
Cut off a limb, it grows back just the same. I’m beautifully colored,
often riddled with spots. Mr. Cross treats me well, he and his tots.

In Mice Don’t Taste Like Chicken, Drew, Jackson, and their classmates spend each school day bonding with these caged critters. Here’s an opportunity to learn about the other “students” of Mr. Cross’ classroom.
